We vacationed in Grand Cayman from Tuesday, November 1, 2005 through Tuesday, November 8, 2005.  Started out with 'iffy' weather - the last rains from Hurricane Beta were still hitting the island when we arrived.  The Caymanians were disgusted!  They (as did we) wanted the sun to come out.  We had a lovely room at the Westin Casuarina Hotel & Spa located along Seven Mile Beach - except for the fact that the AC had been set at about 45 degrees!  It was beyond cold - and, of course, we hadn't brought any sweaters or warm clothes with us, so there was no way to warm up except to leave the room (and the rest of the hotel as it was freezing everywhere inside!) and go outside.  Only glitch there was that it was raining outside!  We ended up opening the balcony door to our room - even though there was a sign near the door that said that we shouldn't do that because of the problems they have with humidity (the staff was constantly wiping condensation off windows and other surfaces inside the hotel...).  Still, we were there and wanted to see what was around, so umbrella in hand we took off! Found out where some of the restaurants and stores are, but many places are not open as there is still much damage left from Hurricane Ivan which hit the island very hard in September 2004. 

The sun came out after three days and the remainder of the vacation was great!  The highpoint for me was snorkeling with and feeding stingrays!  They feel just like cooked portabella mushrooms!  Also went to the Turtle Farm and just had fun snorkeling around the reef near the hotel.
